Hello,
I need some advice here: I have found a doctor to shadow. Yesterday was the first time, and for lunch, he took me to this restaurant, and he asked me what I wanted. I thought each one of us was paying for our own lunch, but he took his wallet out and paid without even acknolwedeging anything. How refreshing, a doctor who isn't cheap.
I told him let me pay you back and he said don't worry about it, it's not a big deal. So I let it go.
So here is the thing: The next time I am shadowing, and let's say he takes me to the restaurant again, do I offer to pay for both of us? I prefer not to do this because I really can't afford it.
Do I say I brought my own lunch, I won't be eating with you? I am afraid he will get offended.
Do I let him pay again? I dont want to do this because I don't want to appear like a cheap bastard.
Do I purposely go after lunch time so I won't have this problem? (Oh, I ate at home, thanks...)
Or maybe this was a one time thing that he does, and hopefully he won't take me again?
